Looking At You Now
By Donna Durbin
An Animal Rights Poem from All-Creatures.org

All of God's creatures have rights, a fact that most people don't seem to recognize. This includes both human and non-human animals, but not all of them can speak for themselves.

Looking At You Now
By Donna Durbin

Looking at you now made it all worth while 
Looking at you now makes my heart smile 
You filled my life with such meaning and care 
It was as if you all showed up from out of nowhere!

You had no past that I knew of 
Maybe you were sent to me from heaven above. 
There came a time when I had to let you go 
And not having you with me broke my heart so.

Now I see you in the arms of another 
And I am no longer your loving dear mother. 
I can tell that you all found a perfect home 
Thank God for No Kill Shelters where NO beast has to stand alone!

Looking at you now this is for sure 
There is an answer, there is a cure 
If we ALL would spare the time to ALTER our Pets 
It wouldn't be so hard to keep your needs met!

Dedicated to Warren County Ky. No Kill Shelter 
From the heart of a rescuer
